THE SANDCASTLE
AUTHOR GUARDIAN
Do you see what I see ?
Do you hear what I hear ?
We die so that Jesus might live in us,
Jesus was born to die for us to live
The maker of the world and all that we see was born as a baby on this planet that He
might now be born in our hearts, that we might be raised up with Him
Try to visualise yourself walking along the shore line, imagine as you walk along
a sandy shore on a summers day and picture in your mind as you walk along this sandy shore
line looking towards the sea the blue sky and waves lashing and grabbing at the shore
As you picture this scenario in your mind now close your eyes and picture a sandcastle
Have you got that picture in your mind ?
The bible is full of pictures , parables, stories, illustrations and examples as the
Holy Spirit throws imaginations into our minds so that we might capture a part of the
message God is revealing to us at a specific time
A picture can tell a multitude of words and reveal to us a message so that we might begin
to grasp and comprehend a simple message
And so now at this time you are picturing a sandcastle ?
Ok so as you look at this sandcastle...ask the question...."How did the sandcastle get
there ?
"
Simple question and yet even the scolars , theologians and scientists fail to see the
fingerprints of God in creation
Some fail to see the moulding, shaping and crafting of the creator and go to great lengths
to describe how creation came about WITHOUT God
How silly it may seem to a child to explain the sandcastle was formed by the waves and winds
and the angle of the rain beating down
Or to say " It simply happened by chance "
And yet many believe the scientist or the scolar and go about their business as if
"All is well "
You would never believe a sandcastle got there by accident ..would you ?
And yet many still go along with the falseness of a life that just "happened by chance"
"A world that formed by accident when a nucleus and mass of atoms and particals exploded
to form space , time and this planet and ultimately "You and me "
Denying God and the maker as Lord of Life is in itself a contradiction
Denying God is in itself admitting there is a God
Why would you deny a God that did'nt exist ?
Why would you go to such great lengths to deny a God that did'nt exist ?
The athiest can be the spokesperson of many who deny God in their hearts in silence
Millions deny access to God and yet their words remain unspoken
The Athiest speaks out and lets the world know "THERE IS NO GOD "
Why do that ?
if He did'nt exist in the first place ?
Would I deny the existence of the sandcastle on the beach ?
.....well some do
Would I deny that the sandcastle was formed by a maker ?....well some do
But God is still God whatever people say or think...He is not affected by their
thoughts or words in that He is still the same forever throughout eternity
However what God thinks of people certainly affects their future
Rather than placing weight on what we might think of God we ought to place
more weight on what God thinks of us, as this affects our life now and in after
God moulded us in His image,He continues to shape us..
Cut from the same cloth..
God looks down all on the earth and views the hearts of people made in His image
to see if there are any that might have hearts that can be moulded to be more like Him
To see if there are any that might be willing to do His will and walk in His ways
He searches peoples hearts and His eyes view and cut deep into the heart
Life is so short like the sand falling between the fingers of a persons hand
The hour glass is emptying, the time is short....God says "Do you see what I see ?
"
If you remember nothing else about this message...remember the picture of the
sandcastle and remember the hands that formed it

Lord God in Jesus name we speak to you and we ask that your precious blood that was
shed would cleanse us and make us right with you
We know that there is nothing we can do to make us right with yourself apart from
coming to you through Jesus and by His blood
Nothing we can do can ever make us right with yourself, no blood shed nor works done
can ever make us righteous, apart from the blood of Jesus and the works of yourself
No clever theology nor way with words nor blinding science can ever say a word that
even matches your glory or wisdom
We can never be good and even our best deeds are as filthy rags to you, only through
the blood of Jesus and the cleansing of your precious blood can we enter into your prescence.
Only through Jesus name can we be made right and you look at us and see Jesus who payed
the price and you look at us and see Jesus and say " with you I am well pleased "
We come to you for protection and guidance Lord and we hide in you
Deliver us from the enemy, let the Goliath sword cut the cloth of the persuer
Let our enemies be scattered and let your right hand be known
In Jesus name amen

We come to Psalm 52,53 and 54
firstly lets focus on Psalm 53
Psalm 53 (New International Version)
For the director of music.
According to mahalath.
A maskil of David.
1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;there is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 Everyone has turned away,they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,not even one.
4 Will the evildoers never learn—those who devour my people as men eat bread
and who do not call on God?
5 There they were, overwhelmed with dread,where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!When God restores the fortunes
of his people,let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Now Psalm 53 is a duplication in Gods word of which there are many and if you turn to
Psalm 14 you will find the identical Psalm
Except for verse 5
In psalm 14 verse 5, David or God speaks of "The frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the Lord
